Swift Codable: Array of Dictionaries - arrays

Question

I have a JSON object from Yelp and I cannot figure out how to access the title in categories using Swift Codable. This is the JSON (with some elements removed for ease of reading):
{
"businesses": [
{
"id": "fob-poke-bar-seattle-2",
"name": "FOB Poke Bar",
"is_closed": false,
"review_count": 421,
"categories": [
{
"alias": "poke",
"title": "Poke"
},
{
"alias": "salad",
"title": "Salad"
},
{
"alias": "hawaiian",
"title": "Hawaiian"
}
],
"rating": 5,
"coordinates": {
"latitude": 47.6138005187095,
"longitude": -122.343868017197
},
"price": "$$",
"location": {
"city": "Seattle",
"zip_code": "98121",
"country": "US",
"state": "WA",
"display_address": [
"220 Blanchard St",
"Seattle, WA 98121"
]
},
}
Here it is in JSON Viewer
I access first level properties like name easily, and I access lattitude and longitude like so:
class Business: Codable {
var name: String
var rating: Double
var coordinates: Coordinates
struct Coordinates: Codable {
var latitude: Double
var longitude: Double
init(lat: Double, long: Double) {
self.latitude = lat
self.longitude = long
}
}
init(name: String, rating: Double, coordinates: Coordinates) {
self.name = name
self.rating = rating
self.coordinates = coordinates
self.categories = categories
}
}
Could anyone please point me in the right direction towards accessing categories -> title? Coordinates was easy to access but categories is an array of dictionaries. Thank you!

Answer 1

It's the same pattern like Coordinates except the value for categories is an array:
struct Root : Decodable {
let businesses : [Business]
}
struct Business: Decodable {
let name: String
let rating: Int
let coordinates: Coordinates
let categories : [Category]
struct Coordinates: Codable {
let latitude: Double
let longitude: Double
}
struct Category: Codable {
let alias: String
let title: String
}
}
let root = try decoder.decode(Root.self, from: data)
for business in root.businesses {
for category in business.categories {
print(category.title)
}
}
